    Official 1.8 Info & FAQ thread

    Post a link to the exact Youtube video you keep talking about. The ONLY video of showing hem driving a Cruise was with the first $113 turbo in July 2020. That only lasted a few days and it died. . It puked oil all inside the intake. You need to look at the dates of what is posted. THIS -...

    Official 1.8 Info & FAQ thread

    Still waiting to see a 1.8L turbo here in the U.S. run and stay running. If you searched here. . . a turbo 1.8L has been talked about and tossed about for many years in quite a few threads. Would love to see one done right. Lastly, putting one together with a different beefed up block...

    2013 chevy sonic 1.8L hatchback build

    Yes. . I know and he has a thread here about it. As of yet. . .. I have not seen his car run. If fact, the last video he posted was to say he has not finished it yet because of moving his business and a friends health issue. Also, he did install a turbo, it worked briefly, puked oil all...

    2013 chevy sonic 1.8L hatchback build

    This will likely end badly or just turn into a big can of worms. The 1.8L does not take kindly to trying this kind of thing. I've yet to see one done, work well, or last very long. Owners who've done this sort of thing usually just disappear after posting less than stellar success, the engine...

    Flickering lights

    Check out the negative battery cable and other grounds to the engine and chassis. Loosen, clean down to bare metal, wire brush the ends, and apply a thin coat of grease before fastening them down. Clean the battery terminal cable ends. One thing that happens sometimes. .. is the negative...

    need oil filter bypass valve

    Apologies for slowness and plodding along through this. I'm +70 years old and have the grand kids here . . . Anyway, I'm thinking somewhere along the line that oil cooler T-stat housing may have been replaced with an aftermarket replacement. Which would have different parts. But. . . who knows...

    need oil filter bypass valve

    Puzzled by that. Thought you said it had "screw on threads" ? If it is Hengst, then it should just have two tabs on the bottom end and snap into place. Wiggle it around and pull it out . . .. take a couple of pictures and post them here. The we will be on the same page. Post #2 earlier has...

    need oil filter bypass valve

    I don't consider that GM eff'd up in using two filter housings. See Post # 4 above in this thread. This happens to other automotive makers as well when one supplier fails to provide or becomes unreliable for one reason or another. Parts supplies change for one reason or another, so what is a...

    need oil filter bypass valve

    Then you apparently to not have the Hengst brand oil filter cooler housing. GM used two different brands for these in both Sonic and Chevy Cruze.

    Sonic compared to Hond Fit & Ford Fiesta

    Still loving our 2017 Sonic LT (with the RS appearance package). Even after a deer hit. . . where the deer went completely under the car . . . and only lower bumper A/C coil, radiator and fan damage. Our Sonic is a fun drive, quiet on the road cruising for a compact car, corners like a go cart...

    need oil filter bypass valve

    The bypass valve insert or "stalk" is available and . . * IF* your Sonic has the Hengst oil filter housing. It would be the same as the Chevy Colorado Hengst oil filter housing. The part is GM 12696079 IF . . . your Sonic 1.4L has the Hengst brand oil filter adapter housing...
